I did some emergency work in Mammoth in 2017. Basically, in the span of roughly a month, Mammoth was on the receiving end of 50 ft of snow. The only reason I knew a building existed, or how tall they were, was the mound of snow around them was absolutely gargantuan. Where we housed was completely hosed when we showed up, and even finding the generator to get it unchoked with snow involved excavating a path under the snow around the entire building hunting for a gas line. We found it, and then sent a team of dudes to snake up the snow to dig down enough to uncover it. While we there our first night, another six feet of snow arrived, completely choking out the generator in the middle of the night. That was an easier fix. There were multiple points in the emergency where we dug trails all over peoples yards hunting for propane tanks. Imagine standing on the crown of a tree, and not realizing how far off the ground you are until you spend three hours digging down to find dirt. It was cold, miserable, and tiring.
